Every year Perry has a day in May when the whole town participates in one huge yard sale. If you call into the city they will put your location on a map that is handed out to all of the yard sale shoppers! Kade is the biggest business man you will ever find! He is going to be rich one day, mark my word. He is not afraid of hard work...he just wants any opportunity he can find to earn money! People keep reassuring me that it's a great trait to have as a male...and not a greedy one!
He has begged for the past 2 years to have a yard sale. I hate yard sales...I'd much rather just haul it all off to the D.I. This year I told him if he would help with all of the work to get it ready, that we could do it! He was awesome. He hauled all of the stuff outside. Spent the whole day before helping me price things and was a great help when it was time to put it all away. He way outlasted any of his sisters!! We decided to get muffins from Costco to add to our sale. Of course, the day of the yard sale was a rainy mess. It was cold and so wet! We set up inside our garage instead of out on the driveway. It worked great though, and I was amazed at the traffic we still had on a constant basis. The rain did not deter people at all!
We successfully got rid of most of our "junk" and made $216.00 doing it! Kade was thrilled. He keeps telling me "I told you so!" He's pretty determined that we are doing it again next year!!
Love you Kade!! Just share some of your fame and fortune when you make it!!
